Today I learned about the benefits of taking naps. I realized one day how I was all about doing, achieving, and moving in some direction. I realized one day how reactive I was. Somebody would stare at me and I would instantly get upset. It always seemed like I’m on the edge. I didn’t like that. I didn’t like how exhausted I would always feel. It dawned upon me from prior experience to invest just 5 minutes into putting my head down closing my eyes and relaxing. As soon as I did this there was an internal struggle. My brain was unsure of what to focus on. But that internal struggle faded. After my 5 minutes was up I felt engergized and had higher focus. It was interesting. There was a dramatic rise in my mental acuity. I wondered why I stopped practicing this habit? The answer became obvious, it makes one stand out. I stopped taking naps while I was in the library because of quips I would get. Now a little bit better at handling people I know this is something I want to practice again. The benefit is so clear. 5 minutes of napping gives me more energy and more focus. I also get a more relax manner. I’m not so quick to react to negativity like I was. It seems as though I’m more capable with brushing things off have holding firm to a relaxed manner. I’m more able to ignore things. It’s interesting. I never looked at resting as a skill. But the more I take naps it seems the better I get at it. Take naps gives more time to think as well. In between work breaks I’m able to consider things more and really evaluate what I’m doing.
